From May 11 – 18, Philadelphia hosts service projects, events, education programs, family activities & more. Festivities kicked off on Saturday with the Love Your Park Service Day, where hundreds of residents volunteered in their neighborhoods. With over 70 events, there’s something for music lovers, art lovers, nature lovers , yogis and more. (I personally love a good ol’ glass of wine & several plates of cheese in front of me in Philly parks, which I plan on doing again sooon enough…)
It’s so approp we celebrate parks the week after Philadelphia was named the America’s Garden Capital last week. As Deputy Mayor for Environmental and Community Resources Michael DiBerardinis said,
“LOVE Your Park Week also provides a snapshot of the many high quality programming possibilities at our parks.”
